BXT = Before Extrasolar Technology

XTE = Extrasolar Technology Era

2350 = 8 XTE = 2342


 * -1,999,997,658/2,000,000,000 BXT
 * The Ring Builders uncover wormhole physics. Subsequently, they commence building a massive interstellar network spanning across many star systems in the Milky Way.

The Ring Builders' empire becomes the dominant power in their small corner of the galaxy. The species thrives

Around this tiem, the Ring Builders place the protomolecule in Phoebe and send Phoebe on a trajectory towards the prehistorical primitive Earth.

Phoebe is caught by Saturn's gravity, sparing Earth's primitive life from the protomolecule.

 * Ganymede becomes the breadbasket of the outer planets.
 * Serious anatomical discrepancies evolves between the "Inner" and "Belters" due to growth in low-gravity. Such differences exist between "Earthers" and "Martians", however, is less evident than the former.
 * 2312 AD / 30 BXT

 * James Holden is dishonorably expelled from the United Nations Navy.
 * Holden is contracted by the Pur'n'Kleen Water Company.
 * 2350 AD / 8 XTE:

 * The Canterbury is destroyed by Protogen ship, but some escape on Canterbury's Knight shuttle.
 * The Donnager is destroyed by Protogen stealth ship, but some escape on the Tachi (the frigate housed in the Donnager).
